Extract from the book
Story of the three stones
• ‘Self care’: not only caring for the sick is
important, you should take care of yourself
too
• 'Humor': Alzheimer's is a tiring and damn
disease, but if you see everything a negative,
dark way, you can not make it.
• ‘Acceptance’: it is important to give the
disease a place.
